Davis Advances To Olympic Quarterfinals With Second-Round Stoppage!

Alexandria, VA lightweight Keyshawn Davis has advanced to the Quarterfinal Round at the Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.

Davis scored a second-round TKO over Sofiane Oumiha of France on Friday.  Davis was leading on three of the five judges's cards after the first round but in round two, he landed a powerful right hand that hurt Oumiha and forced the referee to give an eight-count.  The referee would stop the contest with a minute left in the round.

This was the second time Davis had defeated Oumiha.  Davis won a unanimous decision at the 2019 World Championships.  Oumiha was the silver medalist at the 2016 Olympics in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and was the top seed in this year's bracket.

Davis returns for his quarterfinal contest on Tuesday, August 3rd against Gabil Mamedov of the Russian Olympic Committee.  If Davis wins, it will secure the first Olympic medal for a Beltway Boxer since Clarence Vinson won a bronze medal in Sydney, Australia in 2000.
